The good news is, though, that we have resumed working on the new album and more and more songs keep springing up which is only good because it means this time around we will be able to choose between a wider variety of songs and moods. We will book the studio for September and this time around we are travelling to Germany again to work at the Woodhouse Studios under the hawk eye of a long time acquaintance, Waldemar Sorychta, who has previously worked with us on Wolfheart, Irreligious and Sin/Pecado.

The music and lyrics are finally gaining the texture and the structure of album worthy material. We had eight songs on a first demo but now we are looking at four, five other songs including one that will be a strong candidate to be the first advance of the record. A lot of people approach us to know the way it will sound and I have been trying my best to describe it on recent interviews, but let me tell you how hard it is to state something at this stage of things. I can only come close to the truth by saying that the new songs excite me and also that they intrigue me taking me in many thoughts and travels of self-discovery which are truly fascinating. To say the music is deeply atmospheric, still more powerful and epic than ever is redundant. Moonspell was, is and will be always describable by those words, so I can only say for you to wait patiently and to let us reward you in the end. Btw: the name of the album has been found already.

Memorial will contain around 8 to 10 new songs, including 'Once It Was Ours!', 'Blood Tells', 'Sanguine', 'Finisterra', 'Upon The Blood Of Men' and 'At The Image Of Pain'. The material is being described by the group as "the best music we ever wrote together" and "an homage to the Nineties scene and bands," of which they became a strong symbol of. A tentative spring 2006 release is expected.
